Photography

We are doing a lot of fall cleaning around the house and I have discovered that I have amassed enough tools and bike parts to make a modest home bike shop. Plus I have two project bikes, a classic Schwinn that needs some basic tuning and my old Cannondale which needs a frame up rebuild. Both perfect winter projects. Now I just need to get the underutilized garage whipped into shape.

I haven’t had dim sum in a long time so it was a wonderful way to kick off a productive Sunday.

After a long day of vet visits and litter box installations, the only thing left to do is to party . . .

Several weeks ago my bicycle, Ms. Blu-Haul was vandalized by some creep while locked up outside my office. Thankfully, she now gets to spend the work day in a nice and cozy spot in the file room.

As a small aside, I will try to post my photo on the same day, but sometimes it just won’t be possible . . .

On a cold wet morning, especially after a bicycle ride, there is almost nothing better than a nice hot cup of coffee . . .

So, it isn’t another lake picture, but it is another zeppelin picture. But how often do you get to see a zeppelin anyway? I caught this shot as I came around Wiley Post airport on my ride into work. It is quite a spectacle though I didn’t get any pictures about which I was particularly pleased.

Last of the Lake Hefner pictures for a while, but the lake does figure a lot into my day-to-day life.  One of the best parts of my day is my cool off from the ride into work.  This is the view I get to enjoy as I get ready to get down to work . . .

The martian landscape of Lake Hefner continues to provide photographic opportunities. Today, I caught the world’s largest zeppelin, The Farmers Airship, taking a lap around the lake. The airship is on a cross-country tour with a day stop off here in the city before heading off to Texas. You can get more details here.

The scissor-tailed flycatcher ground art in the foreground is a project of the architecture firm upstairs from us, Rees Associates.

So I am so far behind on my photos it hurts, but it is a hobby I am interested in getting back into in a major way, so expect to see more soon.  In any case, below are some shots from the Walkmen/Fleet Foxes show from last night and from a trip to the grocery store today.

So today is my 35th birthday and it’s on one’s birthday that you start seeking new projects. I’ve been trying to figure out what to do with this site for quite some time. I’m still thoroughly bored with politics and I’m not really any the mood to rant about much else these days. The only thing I’ve missed lately is photography so I’ve decided to take on my own personal Project 365 and figured this site is the best place to host it. So for those looking for rants and ravings, sorry, you will instead get photos and more photos.
